New From

Every week I get telephone calls and e-mail from folks looking for recommendations for this host agency or that one. Look, I will not say anything negative about any host agency, but I do offer a list of recommended host agencies and am going to make the above logo available to companies that I can recommend in confidence. So when you are looking at host agencies (or other companies) look for this logo. There is no way anyone can buy the use of it, they con only earn the right to use it by performance and satisfied travel agents. If you would like to use this logo on your site and are on my list of host agencies, just drop me an e-mail and I will make sure that you get it.

Travel Affiliate Marketing

What's it all about? The travel industry is going through another paradigm that will affect us all. Contextual advertising, affiliate marketing and pay for performance selling in the travel industry is booming and if you are not cashing in on it, you need to understand it and act now.

Tom's new book "Home Based Travel Affiliate" will show you the opportunities that all travel professionals have to cash in on the burgeoning travel affiliate market. Virtually every travel supplier has affiliate programs that pay handsomely and by joining one of the advertiser publisher networks you can achieve the same (or better) results that Tom has.
